Teenage goalkeeper Marcus Dewhurst has been named in the England U17s squad for the Algarve Tournament, which will take place in and around Faro later this month.

The youngster, who has previously been called up by England as a training goalkeeper, is now officially part of Steve Cooper's 21-man squad that will compete against hosts Portugal, Germany and the Netherlands.

This annual tournament is part of England's preparations for the Euro Finals and having qualified as the host nation, meaning no qualifying round, this is important practice for Cooper's group.

The Three Lions will kick-off against Portugal on Friday 9th February, face Germany two days later, before the action is rounded off against the Netherlands on Tuesday 13th February.
